-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
django.test.client is used to tests post resquest in a django
restframework application with json as file content.
For basic json works : {'name': 'Mateu', 'number': 25}
But if the json has internal dictionaries it is transformed to an array:
From {'name': 'Mateu', 'number': 25, sales: {'Hubble':25, 'Web':4,
'telescope': 0}}
To <QueryDict: {'name': 'Mateu', 'number': 25, sales: ['Hubble', 'Web',
'telescope']}
Then it is not possible to iterate over all sales key-value pairs
Also, if in the code a sales list is requested, it give only the last
value (in that case telescope)
sales = request.data['sales'] --> sales will be 'telescope' instead of an
array at least
NOTE, that starting the real server and run a request via curl or via web
browser, it works as expected (a json with internal dictionaries or
arrays)

def store_iteration(request):
print(request.data)
print(request.data['sales'])
}}}
Inside tests
{{{
class IterationsTestCase(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.client = Client()
def test_fake_up(self):
response = self.client.post('/api/test_it',
{'name': 'Mateu', 'number': 25, sales:
{'Hubble':25, 'Web':4, 'telescope': 0}},
format='json')
}}}
